The Golden Age Of Web Directories
Not so long ago it seemed like nearly everyone who wanted to build websites were creating directories. I know when I started out online with all this stuff I put up at least three of them. If you frequented webmaster forums at that time one of the busiest sections was for announcing new directories. Many were even running multiple directories.
Lots of webmasters, including myself, were scrambling around paying $1 to $5 for regular listings and even more for featured listings. Most everyone was playing the PR game and the main concern was usually the PR of the directory and the listing page. Whenever you saw an ad for a directory in a forum it would usually go something like “PR5 Directory…”
Webmasters who achieved high PR values for their directories had no problem getting new listings even when they raised their rates. Wise directory owners used most of their listing revenues to promote their directory.

Service That Connects Webmasters With Work At Home Writers
I manage numerous websites on various topics, so I am always needing fresh, new content. Any webmaster or blogger will know how difficult it can be to write fresh content on a steady basis, especially if you are managing multiple websites.
Much of the content that you find on this site, as well as others I manage, is produced by freelance work-at-home writers.

Now, before I go any further, I need to say that I have not been paid, or even asked, to write about Textbroker. I am using their services for a lot of my content and have been very well pleased with both the rates and the quality of the writing, so I wanted to tell my readers here about it.
When I joined up it was because Textbroker was offering a free $5.00 account deposit for new publisher sign ups. I placed an order for an article using the bonus and was really very surprised at how fast the article was completed and how well written it was. There were no misspellings and no Copyscape problems; I didn’t have to change a thing. Read more
The Importance Of A Quality Site Design
A lot of webmasters do not pay attention to the design of a website. This is a huge mistake because not only does the design aspect of a website effects the visitor’s first impression on the site, but it also impacts the traffic that is brought to the site.
